What makes best sense for Scorpian's first game?

 
sunfish 2017-01-22 17:28:40

Thomas no longer wants to keep so there is no issue there. Thomas is one of if not the best Scorpion batsman so he could make that team as a bat.

An alternative fact?

Fact. I don't deal with alternative facts and falshehoods.

You guys too funny. I agree Thomas is one of the top 7. I suggest starting 11 for The Scorpians as:

Campbell
Walton
McCreary
Blackwood
Powell
King
Thomas
Sewell
Miller
Jacobs
Taylor

JamMack 2017-01-22 19:47:47 

In reply to voiceofreason

Campbell
Walton
Blackwood
Thomas
Powell
King
Sewell
Miller
Jacobs
Taylor
Leveredge

Okay..Baghdad Bob-- The man cannot even make a second string WI team as player or wk/batsman yet he is one of the best, if not, the best batsman on the Yard team..

He cannot even make his home team and they are terrible.

Yuh too funny..

 
JoeGrine 2017-01-23 07:46:13 

How can you say "Thomas is ........the best Scorpion batsman"?

Please show me a non-insular justification.

lol--

You comparing his stats to over-the-hill players like Baugh & Bernard and a few newbies?

Be serious..

 
voiceofreason 2017-01-23 11:27:36 

In reply to buds

You asked me to prove whether or not he is one of if not your best batsman in this current team and I just did. Compared to Campbell soup, Blockwood, Mcfarthy and the rest who are all in the current team. smile

 
natty_forever 2017-01-23 11:53:21 

In reply to voiceofreason... VOR I can bet there has been occasions when Shiv scored more runs than Lara ... get my drift.

big grin


One thing is certain, he is one of your best!

One thing about you VOR you will die with your boots on--Very admirable..

In reply to natty_forever

I find allyuh Yardies ungrateful. Here you have a young Revo propping up allyuh batting and allyuh nah want to give him credit. Not too long ago allyuh was calling for he head, now his head is the cornerstone of allyuh batting.

He is decent but not one of our best... smile

 
JamMack 2017-01-23 13:08:47 

In reply to voiceofreason

Propping up batting? He has had a few good scores but, nothing to get excited about. Please be objective if you can. I wish you would take Thomas back and give us the lesser controversial one of the two that we gave your Dottie team.

R
Voice of Delusion VOD, I cannot remember Thomas scoring a stroke-filled innings of 194 for JA, so how his he the best batsman? Anyway, whenever you start giving Bonner credit for propping up Leewards batting, we will reciprocate.

 
voiceofreason 2017-01-23 15:54:12 

In reply to JamMackLast season he averaged 37.30 and your next best batsman was Marqunio Mindley a pace bowler with 33 ave.

voiceofreason 2017-01-23 15:56:18 

In reply to Slipfeeler

Brendon King the new Yardie Hype. After one innings he is now your best batsman. smile

 
natty_forever 2017-01-23 16:08:18 

In reply to voiceofreason... I am sure our first place had nothing to do with him leading from the front.

The Man just buss a not out century in your win vs Leewards.

 
Slipfeeler 2017-01-23 17:46:06 

In reply to voiceofreason

You are surely delusional ! In what way, shape or form would Thomas be a better batsman than Rovman Powell or Blackwood and isn't Campbell way ahead of Thomas in average for this current regional competition?

 
voiceofreason 2017-01-23 17:58:59 

In reply to Slipfeeler

Remind me how many FC centuries Voopman Powell has? This current regional FC competition is far from finished but what we do know is that Thomas finished ahead of him in last season's FC.

In reply to voiceofreason

Are you into the Jamaicans business because of one player?
You should follow him and start routing for the Yard. lol lol

 
Slipfeeler 2017-01-23 18:12:10 

In reply to voiceofreason

We are using your same method of player evaluation based upon your summary of last season's averages, you have to evaluate apples with apples, which means Campbell is currently beating up you boy Thomas! So by your own method there is no way Thomas could be judged as the best batsman on the Yard team. Once again like Trump you are found out to be delusional. Powell is talented young man who currently plays for West Indies. How can you compare a many times tried and failed, old, grey-back player with a young, developing player.

Apples with Bananas ( Yes you are going Bananas) as this season is incomplete. No comparison.

Powell is talented young man who currently plays for West Indies. How can you compare a many times tried and failed, old, grey-back player with a young, developing player.



Boy you really gone bananas sah! Wahhhhhhhhhhhh! So based on his potential he is better?? Then he don't need to play FC/LIST A cricket he done graduate based on potential alone.

 
Slipfeeler 2017-01-23 18:43:41 

In reply to voiceofreason

Ok let's go there, remember you are the King of mediocrity for you supported a player with a 23.0 batting average and poor "bowling" average not just to play for WI but also to be captain for "life". So stop beating up on the youth, give him time to mature and develop as a player.

Rastaman 2017-01-23 21:11:15 

can taylor make the 11, ie steven taylor. i have never seen him but i hear he is good

 
Wally-1 2017-01-23 21:56:29 

In reply to Rastaman

Rhatid what's appening Rasta? Steven is a very talented youngster and with the right coaching he can be successful at this level.
I think he can make the cut.

 
johnjo 2017-01-24 06:14:49 

VOR you keeping the dishonest Yardies honest as usual.
The revo propping up yard batting. Who woulda thought.

 
voiceofreason 2017-01-24 07:26:42 

In reply to johnjo

Welcome back my Camrade Johnjo! Been a while.

I had to put the yardies in their place because they already looking to drop Devo from the Revo. Remember that Devo Boopie Thomas had to sit on the bench early last season before he was played and ended up topping the averages.

I watching them like hawk. Not that I am a big fan of Devon but I will defend my Camrade against the ungrateful Yardies on this board. smile

Mi visiting... in the sunshine state now. Have you seen Taylor and what are his chances?

 
natty_forever 2017-01-24 14:41:09 

In reply to johnjo... yeah, thanks for that 5 runs.

 
natty_forever 2017-01-24 14:42:07 

In reply to voiceofreason.. a notice nary a word about this season. Also, plz speak of which format he topped.

 
johnjo 2017-01-24 14:54:54 

In reply to natty_forever

See Thomas fail and Yard collapse. This poor lineup putting pressure on poor Thomas.

 
natty_forever 2017-01-24 15:15:24 

In reply to johnjo... well he seems to be failing quite a lot then, we been collapsing like pins. Also suggest mental weakness on his part.

 
voiceofreason 2017-01-24 15:15:51 

In reply to johnjo

Agreed. As Devon Thomas goes so does the Yardies.

natty_forever 2017-01-24 15:16:53
